NOTES
ON
THE LENNOX OR DARNLEY JEWEL.'
It is to be regretted that Horace Walpole has said
so Uttle upon this ancient and beautiful Jewel. He does
not tell us how or where he became possessed of it ;
he gives no explanation of its emblems, or mottos, he
simply says it was made by order of Margaret Douglas
Countess of Lennox, in memory of her husband, the
Regent Lennox, and a manuscript note discovered at
Strawberry Hill, but which is certainly not in the hand-
1 In conformity with common usage I write the word Darnley.
Lord Henry Darnley himself spelt his name Dernley. Sir H. EUis's
Original Letters, Vol. IL 2d Series, p. 249. Lord Darnley to Mary
Queen of England, 28 March, 1554.
